Lumiere 2018browsing

I wanted to connect with you about possible collaboration for the 2018 Lumiere Festival. The Lantern Festival was formerly held in November, but we have changed the dates to Feb. 22-25, 2018, coinciding with the BC Winter Games in Kamloops. We would love to engage your members in some Lantern making workshops as in previous years, but even more exciting is some funding that we have targeted towards large scale installations. Can you please put the word out to your members to see if any are interested in creating some light based installations or displays? It is likely that we will plan these down at Riverside Park so that they are in view for the lantern parade and opening ceremonies for the BC Winter Games on Thursday Feb 22. We are budgeting a chunk of our funding towards this, and would love to hear your ideas and what we can do to help pay for some light installation projects.

What if I put a small fan on it, and hang it from a body made of helium filled balloons? I just want a giant, glowing, tentacled beast in the sky. Adding some lift rotors might make it more viable. If it were powered using a tether to the ground you don’t need to lift batteries…

@Grant-Fraser, I have been in touch with KAC, and have talked with @Ron_Ron about this one. We can get a $300 check from them if we have some volunteers to set up on day of (@Ron_Ron and I can help dial in what needs to be set up before hand, but aren’t sure about schedule day of yet).

We could deliver the sand drawing table thing, and the laser sound visualization speaker balloon thingy for this. Will post more details later, I have a class starting.
